The first year was inspired by the death of my dog Marcy but also by a underlying dream to go to the 2009 24 Solo World Championships. This event would give me some feedback if this dream was at all a possibility. The results were good but most of all a epic was born.

What I remember most is getting to know some good people and friends who put a lot of effort into this ride not only to keep me going but to take on the challenge to ride the RMVQ, now an epic loop that will live on into the future of Missoula mountain bike lore.
